David Bowie is now into his fifth decade of making music. From his first hit single, Space Oddity, to his vital 21st-century albums Heathen and Reality, he remains the most influential rock star of his generation.

Strange Fascination chronicles Bowie's career against the colourful backdrop of post-Beatles pop culture, taking us from the glam-era gender-bending of the early 1970s, through plastic soul, the Berlin period, Scary Monsters and the huge international success of Let's Dance right the way up to his most recent collaborations and his pioneering use of the Internet.

It's a story of amazing creativity, of huge, showboating theatricality and of a never-ending quest to remain relevant and at pop's cutting edge.
